Once Upon a Time: ‘Red, what kind of monster is this?’

So, the Stranger has been all over the world and Ruby hasn’t ever left Storybrooke. As we know, no one ever leaves…hmmm…so how is the Stranger going to get out of town?

(SBL) Granny’s vigilant “I’ll sleep with the trolls in the afterlife” attitude is not to be messed with (begs the question(s): are just trolls and humans in the afterlife? if so, what makes the trolls different? or maybe they are just the ones that sleep…but I digress). Not only does she have one heck of a fairy-tale security system, but she can handle a crossbow.

Snow keeps popping up in other people’s fairy tales. Interesting that her fake name was “Margaret, no, Mary.”

Dr. Whale is a “lech” (according to Ruby)? I’m still confounded as to who he might be. Creepy dude who has medical skills and is somehow associated with whales/fish/the sea. The only doctor we know so far is Doc, and this guy is no Dwarf. We aren’t supposed to find out his StoryBookLand identity until next season, so we’ll have to keep guessing.

The fact that (SBL) Granny’s brothers fought in the “Second Ogres War” means there was a First Ogres War. They died fighting The Wolf and she was left with scars. Also, we learn she has a name: Widow Lucas.

Why hasn’t Mary Margaret had the “TRAMP” cleaned off the side of her car? I wonder if it isn’t some psychological bearing of guilt. Maybe the town would get over it faster if they weren’t reminded of her transgression every time she got out of her car.

Note: Pongo likes vanilla wafers — if you ever see him prowling around your yard.

Storybrooke is big enough to have an Internet job board, but so small there is only one place to buy grilled cheese?

I had a flashback to “The Vampire Diaries” when Red and Peter were discussing chaining him up to keep him from killing people. Too bad they were a little blurry on the real details.

Does David have multiple personalities? Short-term memory problems? Residual damage from the coma/the blow he took before the curse? Are we supposed to suspect Charming of being the wolfman?

Regina: do you want Emma to blame David for Kathryn’s disappearance or not? If not, quit meddling and do your actual job. If so, why do you care if she talks to him. She has a knack for showing up just at the right time. She was probably at home watching on the mirror.

Red….let’s add it up. Granny tells her to wear the hood and keeps her locked up. The steps of the wolf/person go to her window. Ruby keeps finding (or is that sniffing out) missing people/things. Yep, she’s the wolf. The hood that Granny got from a wizard keeps her from turning. Her mother was one too — as was Granny (that bite she got as a girl turned her).

Ruby got mad and quit the diner –not because she didn’t want to turn into Granny (even, though we now know they turn into the same thing) but, — because she didn’t know if she could be as good as Granny. And someday, that diner is going to be known as Ruby’s.

Is that Kathryn’s heart in the box? Is it from EQ’s collection? Or might it be Sheriff Graham’s? Or someone else’s? No surprise that the fingerprints match Mary Margaret’s fingerprints. We know how much EQ hates Snow.
